Unemployment is beating up my little community. My neighbor is going to shutter his home and move to another country and teach. 
He got put off 4 months ago and can not find work.
If you walk around my block there are only two homes that will be lived in year round. Mine and the Mayors.
i do not like the mayor much he is a pompass ego sucking pig and he looks at my tits instead of my eyes when we talk
The rest are shuttered and either for sale or I do not know what.

Too true... on all accounts.

LOOOOOOOOOOL.

Well it is true.
I'm really pissed off.
I saw a job today advertsied on a board outside a job agency. I have a job at the moment but this one looked quite interesting from the information shown. Fact is is that would actually pay less than I'm on but I reckoned I negotiate upwards based on my skills.
Now, it was a marketing manager position and I don't have much experience in management but I have effectively run departments on my own for a decade and had to delegate certain tasks to colleagues as and when. I have been a manager in all but name over the years.
So I go inside to see if I collect some info to read up on. I should point out that I wasn't wearing a suit - I was in black jeans and T-Shirt and I hadn't shaved this morning. OK, so it perhaps wasn't the most professional of images but we're all entitled to days off.
This young slip of a girl asked about my experience which is now up to 20 years and includes design, marketing, PR, copywriting, advertising, event management, websites, video production and media training. The newsletter I write, sub-edit and design is distributed to 45 countries worldwide and I also help organise national and international conferences for up to 200 delegates and yet it wasn't enough.
I was actually quite rude when I was told this which probably means I'm not the right candidate but I'm pretty sure I was judged on age and appearance on the day.
I may not have had the job title of manager before but I think I have enough about me to at least be considered.
Cor! I'm cross!

Managers are usually knuckle dragging morons anyway it's the lackeys that do all the brain work.
Smarten yourself up and head back tomorrow, with a glint in your eye and a bite in your words.
They're open on Saturdays, right?

"Hey you damn dirt apes gimmie the f**king job! Am I qualified? You bet your ass I am! I could end you with a thought!"
You knows it!

Perhaps some kind of tea cosy?
This morning I was stealing my colleague's nose - irritating uncle styley - in order to cheer her up (I know, I know, it was early, I was being ironic, and I'm just..not..that..funny) and trying to persuade another colleague to eat her 'nose' when I was made aware by frantic glances that my boss was stood behind me waiting to talk to me. It's just fortunate I have neither a sense of embarrassment or any career aspirations.
